摘要: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of severe vision loss worldwide. Amyloid β involvement in degenerative diseases such as AMD well known and its toxicity has been related to P2X7 receptor-pannexin-1. Recently, oxysterols (oxidized derivatives cholesterol) have implicated pathogenesis. The aim our study was highlight amyloid β/oxysterols relationship describe receptor-pannexin-1 role toxicity. Using retinal epithelial cells, we first quantified sterols levels after incubation second investigated cytotoxic effects induced by oxysterols. For time, results showed that formation human pigmented cells. We oxysterol mediated receptor activation. This activation dependent on pannexin-1 with 25-hydroxycholesterol whereas signaling pathway pannexin-1-independent for 7-ketocholesterol. Taken together data suggest a pivotal cells which could be an important target develop new treatments AMD.
